-‘72 body with original one piece drop tailgate original latches and chains.
-‘74 with a custom transmission tunnel
-‘78 Drive Train
-1984 Corvette engine (350/300 TPI) professionally rebuild by Butch Kernodle of Norfolk.
Two coats of professional body paint (eggshell desert tan) by PPG paint rep and local custom auto painter Mark Bills.
Marks 4wd adapter Chevy 350 to Toyota 4 speed
Full custom rollcage (metaltech) with seat cradle to fit original seats, shoulder strap seatbelts mounted (new belts purchased).
5 NEW 35 inch Fun country II tires on16" American Racing Black Mojave wheels 4" OME Lift with shackle reversal kit installed
Bestop Tigertop, Plus full length family bimini top.
JT Outfitters Power steering conversion kit
Man-A-Fre Rear disk brake conversion
All new upholstery with heated seats in front and original rear jump seats integrated into roll cage/seat cradle.
All original parts already reconditioned and ready to be put back together. Everything was stripped or sandblasted to bare metal and either powdercoated, POR-15 coated, or painted with industrial high solids as needed. 1000’s of personal hours of labor unaccounted for in receipts.
All mechanical rebuilds were professionally done (engine, transmission, transfer case, front & rear end). Again, have all receipts to verify.
Vintage 70's alpine stereo. Painless wiring harness and accessory harness. All new lights, badges and soft parts needed to complete. Tuffy center console and lots more.
What you cannot do: Please don't call to just come check it out. Serious inquiries only...You need to be mechanically inclined to finish this project yourself or pay to have it done professionally. Please don't call to haggle on the price. If you want it you can get it for 20k. I have over 21k invested in parts alone and another 10K in paint and professional mechanical rebuilds and can prove it with receipts or canceled checks so you are getting it for 66 cents on the dollar already. And that doesn't account for over a thousand hours I already have in it of my time to recondition these parts and make them look like new.
What you need: Money and time, along with a flatbed trailer for the vehicle and a pickup to load all of the parts not attached. Moving blankets, straps and towels or bubble wrap to protect the paint would be good. I am willing to take lots of time to go over it all with you, piece by piece you have proved you are a serious and capable buyer. I don’t want there to be any surprises. This is not for the faint of heart or if you have no experience in doing this. All of the hard, knuckle-busting work is done like I said, but making sure it is finally assembled and safe to drive is not something left for an amateur.
Email me if you are interested (I have more pictures) and thanks for considering.
